Making Plans with Nigel

Carmarthen-based accountants Clay Shaw Butler have recruited an expert to help local business owners fight the recession.

Nigel Roberts, the former head of HSBC’s commercial banking arm in West Wales, has joined Clay Shaw Butler in the role of finance and banking specialist.

Mr Roberts, who has more than 34 years of banking and funding experience, will be based at Clay Shaw Butler’s offices in Carmarthen.

His role will see him providing banking and commercial advice to local businesses. He can act as a business adviser for those that would like their own ‘Dragon’s Den’ type mentor.

Mr Roberts will be able to help local businesses source and get access to funding to help them grow.

In addition to the consultancy service, Mr Roberts will be working with Clay Shaw Butler’s dynamic and energetic team of qualified accountants to provide business plans, cashflow forecasts and management accounts.

David Butler, Managing Director at Clay Shaw Butler, said: “Nigel will help the practice to continue to expand and provide specialist banking advice and support to our clients. He is also happy to work with non-Clay Shaw Butler clients who don’t want to move from their existing advisor, but are unable to source ad-hoc specialist advice.

“Nigel is a great addition to our enthusiastic qualified team, and working with them he will enable us to further develop our reputation of proactively meeting the demanding needs of today’s businesses.”

Mr Roberts is a well-known figure in Carmarthen sporting circles.

He was a keen cricketer. He is currently the secretary to the Carmarthen Wanderers Cricket Club. He is a former secretary to the Carmarthen Athletic Rugby Football Club.
